SLIDE FiledMay 1'7, 1928 INVENTOR ATTO EYv I CARL n, rerun son,

' This invention relates to an irnp'roved-slide a such as the shoulder' straps of overalls.

for straps particularly straps ofgarrnenlts T eslide is adapted for use on anystrap thatis to frame and is ofthe strap, then and theparts are assembled. I V

The accompanying dravvlngs llustrate two i 1 strap fancifulforinscan be adjusted as to its -length I,

In 'such apparel as overalls the strap is placed'in the oldjfashioned slide by threading it through one Wayan'd then after passing or other device: threading it back again; This leaves the end it through a button loop free and isunsatisfactory The end can not be looped around and stitchedafter it is in place and the stitched ends, are preferred-in 7' the trade. i V a The present slide-is one that can be used on a strip with its end looped andstitchedand theloop and the otherreach of the strap can be placed in the slide Without threading-it through; This saves timeand lessens the cost of assemblymaterially' andin addition pro:

vides a more trim appearance. f

To this end the 'invention colnprises a'slide with a central arm or tongue that is normal ly held in the front 'facegoffthe slide but can be disposed so that one end in rear'of the then'passed through the folds forms of slides embodying my invention;

- Icla1m:- I a 1. A slidecomprising a frarne and a tongue l 1" I 1' 7 95 pivotally connected atone endto theframe i? v the frame,'said tongue being extending across to allow lateral movement ef h i u e be made the ficient to enable the tongue to pass through the frame, the frame having an inside dimension to permit such passage.

2. A slide comprising a frame, a tongue pivoted loosely at one end to the frame to enable the tongue to move freely in a plane perpendicular to the frame and also in a plane parallel to the frame, the frame having 7 an inside dimension to enable the free end of the tongue to pass through the frame, the frame having a part to receive said free end and prevent the passage of the tongue through the frame.

3. A slide comprising a frame, a tongue pivoted at one end to one side of the frame and adapted to have its free end engage a part on the other sideof the frame, the frame having an inside dimension that enables the tongue to pass through the frame, the pivoted connection being loose enough to enable lateral movement of the tongue suflioient to allow the free end of the tongue to pass through the frame. 7

4. A slide comprising a frame, a tongue pivoted at one end to one side of the frame and adapted to have its free end engage a part on theother side of the frame, the frame having an inside dimension that enables the tongue to pass through the frame, the pivoted connection being loose enough to enable lat eral movement of the tongue sufficient to allow the free end of the tongue vto pass through the frame and means on said part of the frame for securing the free end of the tongue.

5. A slide comprising a metal frame with inwardly projecting ears at opposite ends, a tongue pivoted to one of said ears and engaging the second ear to limit the rearward movement of the tongue, the tongue being short enough and having enough lateral play to clear the said second ear to allow the tongue to pass to the rear of the frame.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
